This vintage ashtray in the shape of a sphinx is a striking decorative object from the 1950s. The design combines a classic motif with the stylized design language characteristic of the mid-twentieth century. The object is crafted from ceramic and finished with a cream-colored glaze. The ashtray has an elongated shape with the sphinx positioned on one side, featuring recesses at the back for resting a cigarette. The neutral beige tone ensures that the sculptural details are shown to their best advantage. The ashtray is in good vintage condition, commensurate with its age and previous use. The glaze has retained its original luster and the object is structurally intact. This piece fits well in an eclectic interior or as part of a collection of vintage ceramics. It can be used functionally or serve as a characterful decorative accent on a coffee table or sideboard.
